Three-day summer festival on the Kiel Fjord
The Möltenorter Hafenfest is the big summer festival of the municipality of Heikendorf in the Plön district. The venue is the Möltenorter Hafen – a small, picturesque harbor on the eastern shore of the Kiel Fjord, directly opposite the state capital Kiel. For three days, the harbor transforms into a festival mile with a stage, stalls, and a fire department display.
The musical program is a hallmark of the festival:
The harbor festival is organized by the Neuheikendorf Volunteer Fire Department. The fire department is therefore part of the program: vehicle exhibition, demonstrations, and "Open Ship" are integral components. For families, there is children's entertainment, bouncy castles, and on Sunday morning, an ecumenical harbor service with a gospel choir, which kicks off the Sunday with verve. Afterwards, the Heikendorf Show Brass Band traditionally performs.
Heikendorf is located on the eastern shore of the Kiel Fjord in the Plön district. The municipality belongs to the Amt Schrevenborn and is known as a small Baltic Sea resort with a marina, a mayor's beach, and a maritime atmosphere. The Möltenorter Hafen is part of the Probstei scenery and offers a picturesque setting for a classic North German harbor festival. The opening by Mayor Tade Peetz is a tradition.
The Möltenorter Hafenfest 2026 will be organized as usual by the Neuheikendorf Volunteer Fire Department. The exact dates will be announced in spring 2026 by the organizer and the Amt Schrevenborn – traditionally, it is the third weekend of July (Friday to Sunday).
Proven program points: Opening by Mayor Tade Peetz on Friday evening, live music on the harbor stage, ecumenical harbor service with gospel choir on Sunday morning, followed by the Heikendorf Show Brass Band.
The list of confirmed artists will be announced by the organizer in advance of the event. In past editions, artists such as Nashville City, Under Pressure, Spareparts, Shantyrocker Wolf Barsch, and the Heikendorf Show Brass Band have performed.
